Pod house of Rochester


I've always been a fan of outsider architecture (at some point I will write a longer entry on the subject) and America really does have some gems, from castles made of scrap to modernist utopias jutting out over gorges with carousels inside. One day I will take a road trip round all of them. However... today I am celebrating houses that look like natural objects and in Rochester, NY there is this rather splendid pod house that somewhat resembles mushrooms. It also has an air of treehouse, which for someone who's spent rather too much time dreaming of one day building their very own Ewok village, this can only be a good thing...

Also, talking of mushroom houses, I found a very good mysterious funghiesque building on an island in Belgrade...
